The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson 2016 in Tula

The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson 2016 is back in Tulsa again in June. If you are living in or visiting Tulsa OK this summer, you will have a chance to attend the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson 2016. Join tens of thousands of people from around the globe in efforts to help prevent childhood drowning by teaching children to swim. Each year, the event is known as ‘Swimming Lessons Save Lives’.

Swimming is a life-saving skill for children and a vital tool to prevent drowning, the second leading cause of unintended, injury-related death for children ages 1-14. The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson 2016 was created to serve as a platform to help local community aquatic facilities and the many different national, regional and state wide water safety and drowning prevention organizations work together to tell this important story on a local and national level.

This event is so very important because research has shown that swimming lessons can help lower the risk of injuries and deaths by drowning by 88%. It’s more of a safety training for children that will benefit them for years to come. You can get more information about organizations who offer swim lessons at www.wlsl.org.
